Cleaning Sperry's?

I've developed a few unsightly scuffs on my Sperry's. The site recommends Kiwi, but I've heard that this drys the shoes out, and I've tried it before and it seemed ineffective. What do you guys use to keep your Sperry's in shape?

Yeah, but the leather is beginning to look sort of dried out, and the scuffs look out of place. I don't care about them being shiny, but the scuffs make them look... what's the word I'm looking for... beat up and unkempt.

Yea, thats how they are supposed to look. Its not like they are made with some crazy high quality leather. You wear them and they get beat up, and if you want a crisp shiny pair you go get some new ones, preferably in a different color so as to change up your look a little from time to time.

Like I said, they arent dress shoes, they will get worn in after a while.

If they are scuffed and you are bothered so badly by it then toss them in your bathroom sink and scrub them down with some soap. Boom, clean shoes.

In Time Out

Hose 'em off outside and let 'em dry in the sun. If you really want to be anal, wash off the rubber sole edges with soap, a sponge or brillo pad, and water in the sink. I'll only go this far if they're absolutely caked in mud or something, though. Nine times out of ten, they'll get dirty again the next time I wear them in their intended environment. So keepibg them spotless seems like a fool's errand, IMO.
